Once upon a time, I dont like my beloved immunologist. I always complain him of using a cannon ball to kill a mosquito. Everyone should check their antiphospoholipid antibody. Even my husband needs to check his antiphospholipid anybody. I made a joke to a fellow patient, I said my husband needs to have Smoflipid and heparin first before engaging in any sexual intercourse. Wahaha.
Ooops. I was surprised. Her husband has antiphospholipid antibody. The KCT score was 200 (normal is 75). Her husband had angiogram in the past but there was no significant findings. Not so recent, her husband was hospitalized again due to shortness of breath, muscle soreness and etc... He was discharged from the hospital after a week of stay again with any significant findings. Angiogram was scheduled on the succeeding week.
On the day of discharge, although he was very exhausted he still accompanied his wife to our immunologist. I salute to their determination! Midnight schedule does not shun him from pushing thru with the consult despite of his condition. Voila! Both husband and wife KCT result was there waiting for them in the clinic. Our immunologist said his husband has high risk of stroke and heart attack. Then, they shared their story to the immunologist. Shortly after the consult, his husband was confined under the care of our immunologist. He had Smoflipid and blood thinner. Case closed! No need to do the angiogram. He has blood clot in the lungs no wonder cardiologist always clear him. I just wonder why nobody from the other hospital has the brain to solve his case. Now, his husband is perfectly well but takes an oral blood thinner. I was happy to meet them again after a long while. I pray for the success of their ivf.
